Beijing officials will require individuals to hold a negative nucleic acid test result taken within 48 hours to enter public places, including shopping malls, supermarkets, and restaurants, from May 12.
Authorities continue to carry out mass testing in districts across the municipality. Chaoyang, Dongcheng, Fengtai, Haidian, Shijingshan, and Xicheng districts will provide testing services on odd-numbered days, while all other districts will offer testing services on even-numbered days.
Individuals in Beijing's Chaoyang, Fangshan, and Shunyi Districts must adopt work-from-home arrangements; employees that need to work on-site may use personal means of travel instead of public transport.
A ban on dine-in services at restaurants remains in place, while indoor sports halls and cultural and entertainment venues must close. Public parks can operate at up to 50-percent capacity.
